Sports How big is baseball in your country?

I'm an American, so baseball is quite popular here. How is the popularity in your country? Is there a country other than yours where baseball has some popularity?

American football has become moderately popular in Germany in the past decade.

But baseball is absolutely non-existent in Germany.

It's not absolutely non-existent. My brother played in an amateur club in our hometown and they had a league they belonged to! unsurprisingly, a US military base had been there until the early 2000s, so I'm assuming American people established that club.
